What is a DIY Home Energy Assessment?

Think of it as a home energy checkup you can do yourself, in about 20 minutes, from your phone or computer. Answer a few questions about your home, and we’ll show you where energy — and money — might be slipping away. Complete it and you’ll get:

  • A free energy-saving kit with weatherstripping, caulk, socket sealers and more.
  • A $10 home improvement gift card.
  • Access to an interactive dashboard with personalized, actionable recommendations.
  • A rundown of rebates and credits available to you through TVA EnergyRight and your local power company.

Do I need to own my home to take the assessment?

Whether you own or rent, if your local power company participates, you’re eligible. Renters can still uncover easy wins — things like sealing drafts or swapping bulbs — that can help you save money on energy costs.

How do I know if my local power company participates?

The assessment itself will tell you — when you start your assessment, you’ll be prompted to enter your address or select your local power company. If your power company is participating, you’re good to go.

What should I have ready before I start?

A little prep makes the assessment faster and more accurate. Have a general sense of:

  • What type of home you live in and roughly when it was built.
  • The age of your major appliances.
  • Your primary heating and cooling systems.
  • Whether or not you have a smart thermostat.

You don’t need exact specs — your best estimate works fine.

 

How long does it take to complete?

Most people finish the survey in 15-20 minutes. You can save your progress and come back if you get interrupted.

What happens after I submit my assessment?

Your results show up in your personal dashboard right away. From there, you can see which upgrades would make the biggest difference in your home, check your eligibility for rebates, and track your energy-saving progress over time. You’ll receive your free energy-saving kit and gift card in the mail in a few weeks.

WHAT’S NEXT?

Turning your assessment
into action.

If you’ve already taken your DIY Home Energy Assessment, you can schedule an in-person Home Energy Evaluation for a deeper understanding of your home’s energy use. Or you can find a contractor who can help you with rebate-eligible upgrades.
